Strengthening Hardis Group's presence in the Iberian Peninsula
Sislog, founded in 1998, has close to 100 customers and 400 implementations of its warehouse management solution in Spain, Portugal, and South America, mainly in the distribution, consumer products, pharmaceutical and logistics service sectors.

Sislog’s warehouse management solution—the market leader in Spain—is recognized for its ease of integration and use, as well as for its robustness. It will complete Hardis Group's software portfolio and could be marketed in other countries later on.
"Sislog's teams will continue to provide R&D and support" said Florent Boizard, director of the Supply Chain Solutions business unit at Hardis Group.
